Franciacorta, a drier, more Champagne-like sparkling wine from Lombardy, makes a refreshing alternative to prosecco. And while it sounds a bit recherché, a dash of yuzushu, a blend of sake and fresh yuzu juice, gives a Spritz a twist that's hard to pin down. (Kudos to Sydney wine bar 10 William St for the inspiration.)
